"Status window."

After calling Alice and the other party members, I arrived at the training ground first and muttered the command.@@novelbin@@

[ … ]

The status window that should have appeared didn’t show up. Instead, just a flickering row of ellipsis.

“…Is it a bug?”

This wasn’t the first time. It had happened before with the "Ring of Affection and Obsession." Back then, there was a brief bug where Rina’s name flashed on the screen and then disappeared. It wasn’t a big deal, but it still stuck in my memory.

The reason for the bug in my status window?

"It’s probably the Magesu…"

I had defeated the Magesu, a monster that should have only appeared in the final chapter of the original game, much earlier than intended. While it was true that the Swordmaster and my master had done most of the work, I couldn’t say I hadn’t contributed at all.

"Hmm, this is a bit troublesome."

Of course, just because there was a glitch in the status window didn’t mean my strength had suddenly diminished. But the fact that I had planned my training around my objective stats and skills made this status error quite an inconvenience.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it right now.”

I could only hope the problem would resolve itself in time. I sighed deeply, staring at the status window for a moment longer before closing it.

What I needed to focus on now was evaluating the growth of my party members.
